***********
Failure of Brookings, CFR, and others to be aware of the post COld War environment & and articulate a coherent and PRACTICAL foreign policy has lead to the the rise of Wolfowitz, Perle and other neo-cons.
After collaspse of the Soviet Union, foreign policy has drifted. Part of this is reasonable, since the situations weren't clear until about mid -1990s. Managing the transition to a free Central Europe was a question mark, Russia under Yeltsin was a bit of a wild card, etc. |
